Representative Springer says he in
tends to secure if possible the passage
by the present Congress of his bill to
provide an enabling act for the sdmis
sion into the Union of Dakota, Mon
tana, New Mexico and Washington
Territory. He says it will probably
not be possible TO get the committee on
Territories to report upon the bill, but
that he will try to have it substituted
by the House for some other Territorial
admission bill when the latter comes
up for consideration. He thinks the
idea of admitting all at once will pre-
vent opposition on party grounds, az
they will be equally divided politically,

Money to be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not
known by the agents for the great pub.
fishing house of George Stinson & Co.,
of Portland, Maine. The reason of
this exceptional success is found in the
fact that they always give the public
that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At pres
ent We understand, their agents are do
ing wonderfully we'll on several new
lines. They need many more agents in
all parts of the country. Those who
need profitable work should apply at
once. Women do rs well az men. Elk
rerieEce is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stnson & Co. undertake to show all
who are willing to work no. hard but
earnestly, the path to large success. 1t
should be remembered that an agent
can do handsome business without
being away from home over night
Another advahtage--it costs nothing
to give the business trial, and an
agent can devote all his time, or only
his spare moments to it Stjnson & Co.
guarantee grand success. TO all who en-
gage and follow simple and plain di.
rections that they give. We have not
space to explain all here, but full par
ticulars will be sent frte to those who
address the firm; their full address is

No great political measures have

that which deals with the Indian ques-

and it yet remains to be seen what

currency agitation, the Blair education

civil service reform. But while the
region of practical politics have been
comparatively barren, movements are
on foot which are rapidly forming

this selfwilled, fiery tempered youth who
had always had his own way,
Time glides on alike to the happy and
miserable. Wat cares Time? He will not
hold his glass back to give one hour more
of youth to a Cleopatra. He will not
hasten it to shorten by so much as one
second the torment of q martyr in flames.
Philip Dumoray's Toys were 4 years old.
All the tenderness of his powerful nature
went out to them. They slept in q little
bed beside his own. He hung over them
long and fondly n night, studying each
child-like feature, listening to their softly
falling baby breath. How lovely they
were, lying there in their white bed! The
rosy faces were flushed with sleep, the milk
white armswere flung above their heads.
The rings of bright hair hung damp and
warm about their pretty brows.
''God bless them!' murmured Philip.
He went to his couch and was shortly
in q deep slumber. He had not slept so
soundly for years, he recalled afterwards.
How long he had been asleep he did not
know. He was suddenly awakened with
an awful horror at his throat. He only
knew something was %strangling him, some
thing was being pressed steadily down upon
his mouth and nose. He threw his arms
convulsively upward. His hands caught
q human form, which glided from his grasp.
With a last effort he threw the thing, what
ever it was, from his face. 1t was a pillow.
He tried to spring 10 his feet blu. fell back,
weak aud helpless. He saw his vile Gid
ing like a spirit out of the low window that
opened on the veandA. How could he
see her in the darkness? What was thai
light?
Flame and smoke burst in through the
door from the hallway. The fame licked
the ceiling and Tapped the door. The smoke
spread through the room. He was suffo-
eating again.
Great God! His boys! His d~arlings!
With the last effort he could make IN
that desperate moment, he staggered to-
ward their beds. and fell across 1t with
open, empty arms.
The children were gone!

Greeks and Romans. The children gave
the birds aud beasts they tanned the names
of these brave old heather. A risky young
squirrel they called Dido. They were at a
loss al first what to call the pair Of colts
that came and ate apples from their hands.
But Mr.. Morrison told them stories from
the Odyssy the Had and the Eneid till
they took sides and fought the se.ge Of Troy
over again. They named the blOOded colts
Ulysses and Penlope.
There was q drub mouse that would
scamper up Percy's sleeve and hide, and
eat cheese and toast of a plate at the table.
The schOolmaster said it looked like their
sister Brownie when she peeped out from
under her sun bonnet. They called the
mouse Brownie. Snow, the pullet pos
sum" ard pretended to 30 to sleep on
Brownies bed, to the inetfable delight OF
the youngest among the merry crew.
The chropicler of the fortunes of the
Carstones may well be pardoned for ringer
ing over such idle nonsense. They them
selves looked back to those days in after
years as to a paradise. Heaven was in very
truth about them in their infancy. Trouble
enough came in later times to n and an
other. But in the saddest days there was
still a remembrance of the old stone house.
They were reared in the gentlest, kindliest
way. Theirs was the ideal childhood. De
Spair, disease, sin even, might crush them
in deadly fold ~later-naught could rob
them of the power to look back and say:
But | was happy once!
Fortunate such children!

roem She surpassed all former efforts.
Pas;de her, as she read, was a vase OF white
rosebuds, rare and costly, of a kind I'M
tnowu in Linwood. 1t was the masters
Gift to his best pupil.
Mrs. Simpkins, her fast friend, told the
story of her triumph TO every stranger that
came to the village.
"'Twas a night LinwcOd'll never forget,

ond nracticed her on her readin' till 1t was
that material YOU couldn't ha' told she

like m angel, standin' there dressed IN

day school lets out. 1t was just that beau
tiful. When she got done, and made her
bow, there was q mint of dead hnsh, like
before the benediction in church. Then
the people all fell to as they couldn't help
themselves, and such q clappin' and cheer
ing was never heerd i'll LinwOod before nor
since. Feared rs though they would take
the girl aud carry her Oft on their hands

and looked that pretty till you felt you'd
like to bite her. She turned her eyes this
way and that, az if she'd like to hide, TIL
her eyes lit on the master. lie waS sitting
on the stage, with the Presbyterian minis
ter and the doctor. He hadn't cheered heT
at all, but looked sober and set right still
But when Shirley looked at him, with the
crowd q clappin' aud a clappln', he JEST
reached across and shook her hand, quite
and gentleman like. He was a little pale
and serious, like he had a pain or some
thing. You cOuld see how pleased ne was
though, with his eyes a shinin'. But he
never said q word.
''When the noise died away a little the
PRESBYTERIAN minister he got mp aud waVeh

"'Linwood crowns her poet

But there was something good Mrs.
Simpkins did not tell. She did not tell il
because she did not know it. Women gener-
ally keep a secret under similar circum'
stances.
When Shirley. half in dream, looked al
her crown and her flowers that night N
home, she found a little card among the
white rose huds. The card said.
